DRAWING TONE CURVES BY FREEHAND

Click the freehand-curve button (1). The mouse point- er changes to the pencil tool when placed in the tone- curve box.

Click and drag the pointer to draw a new curve. Extreme image manipulations are possible with the freehand curve tool.

To smooth a rough freehand curve, click the smooth- curve button (2). Nodes will be automatically placed on the curve and can be adjusted with the mouse.

With extreme freehand curves, the smooth curve but- ton may significantly change the shape of the curve. Click the undo button to return to the original free- hand curve.
